I've been working on making a watch. Here is a thread that documents the progress

I finally finished it last night.

The case was machined from a billet of solid bronze. The face was made from hand hammered brass. the hands were made from brass stock. The crown is a section of 7/16 bronze hex stock. I used a Seagull ST-36 movement.

It's a little crude. I left the machining marks on the case.

I view this as a rough prototype. I already have plans for the next version.

Hi Steve,
Can you provide me with some info on what local tech shop you worked at, who your contact is there, and if they will continue with this project? I am interested in making some watch cases to fit some existing movements, and altering others to give them some uniqueness. I am in the SF South Bay and there are a couple of tech shops (maybe the same chain?) nearby but I haven't heard of any special watch projects down here or from the owner's emails.
Any additional info you can provide would be greatly appreciated?
